GQC affirms a Mother in Heaven.
George Q. Cannon, “Mr. Cannon’s [sic] Lecture,” Salt Lake Daily Herald, April 15, 1884, 8
The Mormons believe that all men were born in the spirit world of the union of the sexes, having a literal father and a literal mother before coming to this world, that the spirits are just the same in appearance as the body, that God is a married Being, has a wife at least, as Jeremiah said the angels were offering incense to the queen of heaven. The Latter-day Saints believe that God is an exalted Man, and that we are the offspring of Him and His wife.
